The problem is that the oracle search is terrible.

http://tahiti.oracle.com/

 Enter a word or phrase: sql*loader reference
 Enter a word or phrase: sqlloader reference
 Enter a word or phrase: sqlloader

	Summary of Search Results: (the above)
	Your search term did not match any of these documentation libraries: 

If you don't have the exact correct search term then it finds nothing.  Enter a word or phrase: sqlldr
 Enter a word or phrase: sql*loader those both work.

On the other hand
 GOOGLE: sql*loader reference
brings up lots of documents. Top item is not from oracle. First item from oracle (number 6) is a discussion of arabic characters. First actual Oracle doc is hosted at a university.

I am glad however to notice that download-east.oracle.com/docs now appears on the list, as does www.oracle.com on occasion, which is much better than in years previous when the only official oracle docs that ever appeared were those hosted at universities - I used to wonder if that was a kind of public service! Tahiti, the supposed document repository for oracle, basically never turns up unless you ask for it.
